Piers Morgan's anti-gun rant

An official petition to the White House asks the Obama administration to deport the British Morgan “immediately for his effort to undermine the Bill of Rights and for exploiting his position as a national network television host to stage attacks against the rights of American citizens.”

There are nearly 90,000 signatories to the petition, which launched last week after Morgan made anti-gun comments in the wake of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Only 25,000 signatures are needed in order for the White House to respond, a mark that was surpassed by Monday.

Are these the same twits that want to secede from the union? Nobody has ever proposed taking away the right of Americans to own guns. There are as many guns in America as people and over three million AR-15s alone. Ever notice that gun nuts are the most easily frightened and always somehow avoid military service?

All of America supports Pierce Morgan in his right to speak on any subject he chooses ! Everyone in this country has this right, citizen or not ! ...

I am proud of my country for so many reasons. But unfortunately, we still have some people who believe that only they can speak for the entire country ! .... These same fringe minded people, even believe they can put petitions together to "SUCCEED FROM THE UNION", and it will be done !

And its funny, but this article says, "This petition is being submitted the the White House, to deport Pierce Morgan. LOL ! .... And I would just BETCHA they've got another one, ready to roll of the presses to deport the President, who their asking to deport someone else ! .... Real backwoods, Einsteins they are !

Yes, America still has some really SICK PEOPLE around ! The kind that want to have guns available to shoot innocent children, even their own mothers' as she lay asleep in her bed.

Michael Moore is a Fat A__ buffoon that hides behind his armed bodyguard to criticize gun ownership. He hides his fat carcus behind his wealth while he criticizes the 1%. He is the white version of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Can you say hypocrite? I am tired of those that profiteer on other peoples poor fortune.

Don't care much about what Piers Morgan has to say and michael moore is an idiot. He proves it just about evertime he opens his mouth. I'm still waiting for all the lawsuits he promised after people proved he was a liar in his documentary after 9/11.

I signed the petition to deport Piers Morgan not because of his attempt to nullify the second amendment which is his right as guaranteed by the first amendment, but because calling another human being whom he does not agree with, "stupid," "dangerous," and an, "idiot" on national television is akin to crying, "fire," in a crowded theater. In my opinion his language on this especially sensitive issue in view of the tragedy in Newtown, CT is dangerously close to attempting to incite a riot. The issue demands reason, not hysteria.

I am sitting here thinking if I stick one of those curly energy saving lightbulbs on Michael Moore's backside, he would comically look like one of our 500 pound Duroc hogs on our rural Oklahoma farm.

I know, I know, this is not left liberal politically correct to use a sharp pig poking stick to poke fun at a boy who stuffs his face with so much food he is morbidly obese, this is not Michael's fault the boy eats way too much, this is our fault, always our fault in left liberal La La Land.

I have watched and listened to Michael Moore many times. My opinion is Moore is not the sharpest pencil in the official No. 2 pencil box. I think him to be a dullard. Moore is so intellectually challenged he is unaware this petition to have arrogantly pompous Piers Morgan deported is simply a statement of protest directed at Morgan's obnoxiously rude attitude which is typical of a bad teeth British boy who thinks himself to be blood blue royality.

Our girl signed this petition, her daddy signed and I signed. We are well aware this is a symbolic gesture of protest, as most people know, but not Michael Moore. We wet inked this petition to lend our voices to others who view Piers Morgan for what he is, a dimwit jerk who earns a living insulting Americans.

In a truly civilized country Moore wouldnt need a bodyguard for simply speaking his mind. In neo-fascist America however, he cant leave home without one, seeing as how the mentality of the rethuglicans is roughly on a par with those of third-world druglords.

Piers Morgan's is nothing but a low-life Tabloid journalist who while in the UK wasn't just a part of, but one of the ring leaders of Murdoch's Tabloid's beyond the pale behavior of fabricating stories and ignoring peoples basic privacy by hacking into not just private phone conversations but also cell phone messages. Pier 's, on his own, was caught completely fabricating a "news" story even before the Murdoch's" New s Of The World" scandal was revealed. He is a proven liar and phony and has built his whole career on over the top antics just to boost ratings. so is it any surprise that he is denigrating tw3o of the things Americans hold most dear--The Constitution and the Bible?

He was on his way out at CNN and U.S TV before the school tragedy because of awful ratings and his central role in the UK Tabloid scandals. What Piers has done over the past few weeks is simply revert to form and employ the experience gained over his sordid career by purposely exploiting this tragedy for selfish reasons--to get attention and save his own neck by desperately trying to bump his ratings. Why CNN is allowing Piers to sully their reputation with Tabloid tactics is beyond me, but shame on CNN. CNN is behaving like the network in the classic movie "Network", where a struggling, but storied TV network exploits/allows a raving madman's show to go on because it is boosting the networks ratings. Piers isn't a madman, he knows darn well what he is doing, and he is sadly accelerating the race to the bottom of news organizations as they throw professional journalism out the window for partisan politics or ever more sensationalized story lines.

The 2nd Amendment is short but clear that the right to keep and bear arms shall NOT be infringed by the U.S Congress. Oh yes, we have a problem with guns alright--guns in the hands of young men-- and especially in the hands of mentally ill young men and/or Gangbangers. Does that mean it makes sense to trash an entire Constitutional Amendment for everyone? An Amendment The Founders felt was so critically important it was 2nd only after the 1st Amendment of freedom of speech?

If the Feinstein Bill is enacted and that precedent is set, what's next/? Being required to get a permit and be fingerprinted to exercise our 1st Amendment?

Btw, no surprise that Moore is jumping on the Piers Morgan bandwagon--Moore can see who's getting a ton of attention right now and figures to get some of it for himself. while the getting is good.

i'll even give a plug for Moore's Bowling For Columbine. I think you'll see that your's and my 5 year olds can play connect- the-dots better than Moore does in trying to trash the legal holding and usage of firearms in the U.S.
